The Foundation Fairy is back! Yes, I have been on a mission with foundation/BB Cream testing lately!!! This time I am testing out 3 Lab's Perfect BB SPF 40.
I am including BB Creams within my Foundation Fairy Series as, in my case, I wear BB Creams just like a foundation. Also, I am finding that in the Summer, I prefer BB Creams instead of foundations. So, you might see my Foundation Fairy posts heavy on the BB Creams for awhile with me venturing more into traditional foundations more in the Fall/Winter. With that said, I do have a foundation review coming soon for Pixi's Flawless Beauty Stick (Foundation Stick). So, check back soon for that! If you missed some of my previous Foundation Fairy posts, be sure to check those out here: Foundation Fairy (Intro Post), Clinique's Age Defense BB Cream, Napoleon Perdis Foundation Stick, and Omorovicza Complexion Perfector BB SPF 20.

My Skin:
While I am now in my late 30s, I am looking not only for moisturization and sun protection from my foundation/BB Creams, but also I am looking for some "good for my skin" ingredients as well as proven anti-aging ingredients. That is a tall order! The good news? Many of the BB Creams on the market right now do just that. Skincare + Foundation + Moisturizer=BB Cream. My skin type is normal. But, that does fluctuate. I am normal in summer (with a tad of oil through t-zone) and normal-dry in winter.
What is a Fair Girl to do?
My other big obstacle it seems with finding foundations is finding a good color match. BB Creams often come in one universal shade or a limited shade range. Will this one work for me? Keep reading to find out!
